"I was one of the reasons that Pizza Hut decided to go to electric ovens. "
So you're the one! No really, it was a sad day when they converted from those old stone bed ovens, the pizzas never tasted the same after that!
BTW Pizza Hut is the reason I'm married to the man I'm married to today! He managed the first Pizza Hut I worked at!
You're right about that. I remember when I first developed what we called the "pizza radar," where you just knew it was time to shift the pizzas around in the oven, or when a pizza was done. Workers at Pizza Hut always thought it was cool when they developed it. Those were the days before the "conveyor belt" ovens.
Can you imagine OSHA inspectors today, if they saw us reaching into the ovens with a pair of channel lock pliers to pull the pans out of the ovens, without wearing some sort of heat protection on our hands and arms!
